Moving the computer

Before moving your computer, even across the room, make sure all

drive activity has ended (the drive indicator light stops glowing) and

all external peripheral cables are disconnected.

Running the computer on battery power

Battery life rating is for comparison purposes only, and does not

indicate the battery life that will be obtained by any individual user.

Actual battery life may vary considerably from specifications

depending on product model, configuration, applications, power

management settings and features utilized, as well as the natural

performance variations produced by the design of individual

components. The battery life rating is only achieved on the select

models and configurations tested by Toshiba under the specific test

settings at the time of publication and is not an estimate of a

system's battery life under any conditions other than the specific

test settings.

Recharge time varies depending on usage. Battery may not charge

while the computer is consuming full power. After a period of time,

the battery will lose its ability to perform at maximum capacity and

will need to be replaced. This is normal for all batteries.

To ensure that the battery maintains its maximum capacity,

operate the computer on battery power at least once a month. The

Lithium-Ion battery has no memory effect so it is not necessary to

let the battery fully discharge each time. However, for better

accuracy of the battery meter, it is helpful to fully discharge the

battery periodically. Please see "Maintaining your battery" on

page 25 for procedures. If the computer is continuously operated on

AC power, either through an AC adaptor or a port replicator (if

applicable to your system), for an extended period (more than a

month), the battery may fail to retain a charge. This may shorten the

life of the battery, and may cause the battery meter to be inaccurate.

Do not remove memory media while data is being written or read.

Even when the Windows

to the media might still be in progress and your data could be

destroyed. Wait for the indicator light to go out.

Do not pick up the computer by its display panel or by the back.

Doing so could damage the system.
